Baptism Card

In going through my pictures, I realized I never shared the card I made for my goddaughters and their mom back in May to mark the two year anniversary of their baptisms. I used the same chalk technique that I described here and showed here. I tore green textured cardstock, inked the edges with chestnut roan, and glued them in place to make the hills. Then I cut a 1" strip of woodgrain paper, snipped it into two pieces (one shorter than the other), and glued them together to make the cross. Finally, I glued the cross in place with the end tucked under the hill in the foreground.

It's been a very baptism-themed week for the deRosiers, as I met my 4-month old godson Teagan for the first time last Friday. His godfather is his cousin, Ryan.

Teagan and the rest of my out-of-state relatives were in California for the baptism of Allison, my nearly 5-month old niece. Here she is, waiting to be baptized.

Hi Cindy! Your card is so beautiful and I am happy that you shared your chalk technique! Thanks!!! I absolutely love the photos - Allison is very pretty and so darn cute! I hope you have a great weekend!!!
